Catoniss
"The best and the longest lasting relationships start off as friendships."
Cato POV
I turn my away head from Glimmer and her endless attempts to seduce me. As of now she's basically rubbing herself all over me while suggesting everything and anything sexual. I'm seriously thinking of slapping her.
"My parents are actually going to be gone all weekend, so maybe we could get together and, erm, study?" She asks seductively, rubbing her hand along my bicep almost making me hurl. The she leans up and whispers in my ear. "Or we could, you know, go to my room and-"
I shiver, not from pleasure but from disgust. When will this girl stop? Doesn't she see that I want anything but her? I stand up abruptly from where I'm seated, not letting her finish whatever she was going to say, and I capture everyone's attention. Including Mrs. Paylor.
"Can I be excused to go to the restroom?" I ask in annoyance, even if she says no I'm still going. Anything to get away from the slut next to me.
I hear Glimmer huff next to me and I glance down to see her pouting angrily with her shoulders slumped and her arms crossed across her chest dejectedly. I exit the room and as I do I hear her continuos attempts this time at Marvel.
I roll my eyes, slut.
I walk out into the hall and glance at the clock.
2:15
Shit, I'm 15 minutes late. You see, I'm not really going to the bathroom. Every day since the second or third week of school a few friends and I leave class, at different times each day, and go to our hideout.
I take the all to familiar route to the secret hall behind the stage. Its hidden behind the curtains and when you open it, it leads to a small closet. But one day I went looking around this closet for something for a teacher and I found a whole other door, leading to a small hallway that opens up to a room.
I hear chatter through the door as I walk down the narrow hall, and when I open the door I'm met with the smiling faces of my closest friends; Clove, Thresh, Finnick, Annie, Johanna, and most of all, Katniss.
Katniss... Out of everyone in this room she's the one I'm closest to, the one I love as much more than a friend, and I wish to be even closer to her. To take our friendship one step higher and become a couple, but of course I've been friend-zoned by her.
All heads turn and their eyes are on me as they hear me open the creaky door.
"Look who decided to show up," Clove smirks. I roll my eyes and walk towards the couch.
"Oh whatever, I was caught up in class." I say, taking a seat next to Katniss on the old and worn out couch we moved in here just after we discovered it.
When we found this room all that occupied it was an old stool and a few wooden chairs. The walls were all scratched and the paint was cracked. Yet we saw a lot of potential in this room, and we found a leather couch at Good Will as well as a few cushioned chairs and even a few bean bags. We all put in money and bought a TV, the school doesn't even know about it. Not to mention we have a pool table that flips into an Air Hockey table, the guys and I even made time to build a sort of bar. Of course it doesn't have beers, but it has a years supply of sodas in a mini fridge behind it. There are stools all along the bar counter. It's like the perfect hangout, aside from the fact it's at a school...
As far as I know, no teachers know this is even a room in this school. Believe it or not, we even come here over the weekends, this room is our hangout. How do we get in the school over the weekends? Cloves father is the principal at this school, so she took the keys and got them copied, giving us each our own key.
I lay back against the couch and wrap my arms around the back of it, one going behind Katniss and the other around no one but the cushion.
"God, Snows loading on the homework before Christmas break and it's killing me!" Finnick groans. Resulting in everyone bursting out in agreement.
I tune out and roll my head to the quiet girl next to me.
"Hey."
She turns her head to me and gives me a small smile. "Hey yourself."
"You ready for this day to be over yet?" I ask, giving her a crooked smile.
She heaves a heavy sigh and nods, "More than ever. I just want it to be Christmas vacation already. I don't understand teachers, it's the day before break and they give us homework instead of parties."
"Speaking of Christmas vacation, you still coming over after here school for the Christmas movie marathon?" I ask
"Wouldn't miss it for the world."
I turn to everyone else and say a tad bit louder, "Are y'all all still coming back after school? For the movie marathon? After all today IS the last day before break."
They all nod, confirming their arrivals.
"Great, six sound good?" I ask.
They all nod and then Thresh speaks up.
"Who's bringing what? I guess I will bring the chips." He says, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I got the movies." I say.
"Drinks."
"Cups." Johanna says.
"Cheap ass." I mutter, making Katniss laugh.
"I guess I'll bring some candy or something." She says, and then she shifts so that she's laying with her head on the arm of the couch and her legs are placed across my lap. If this had been anyone else I would shove them off of me before they could even say "sorry." But she's the exception, she's the exception to a lot of things.
"Ugh, I really don't want to go back to Snows class. I want to nap instead." Katniss groans.
"No one does, brainless." Johanna pipes up.
They both have him right now, Thresh and Clove each have Trinket, Finnick and Annie have Coin, and I'm stuck all alone with Paylor. Thing is though, I have almost every other class with Katniss and many with the others.
"He hates me though, every class he glares at me. I've done nothing to him!" Katniss exclaims.
"He hates everyone." Thresh says. "Don't take it personally."
She sits up and removes her legs from on my lap and sets her feet on the floor. She moves so that she's sitting next to me like before and lays her head back against the couch like I'm doing.
"Cato, can you take me and Prim home?" She asks, turning her head to face my own. She's so close that if I moved forward only an inch our noses would be touching. Let's hope my breath is okay...
I smirk, "Nah, I'll leave you to walk home in the freezing rain outside. It's only a, what? Like half hour walk?"
She narrows her eyes and blows air in my face, making me close my eyes and scrunch my nose. Although her cool breath somehow warms my face. I open my eyes back up and I hear laughter bubbling from within her. Her eyes are gleaming and the angelic sound fills the air around us.
"Seriously though," she says, turning her head back to me after her laughter dies down.
I smile crookedly. "Katniss, when have I ever said no to you?"
She smiles back. "True." She looks at the clock on the wall and gets up with a sigh.
"Well, time for me to head back to class..." She mumbles while stretching.
"Oh come on, I just got here." I joke, pouting slightly.
She smiles and rolls her eyes at me. "well I've been in here for the past half hour, not my fault for your being late. I'll see you later."
I try my best to hide my disappointment as she exits our secret cove.
"Yeah... See you." I mutter, deflating as she leaves my sight.
As soon as she leaves, all the others turn to face me with a smirk.
"Still haven't told her I see." Clove says cockily.
I roll my eyes and cross my arms over my chest. "Told who what?"
"Oh come on Cato, you know who." Finnick says, swirling in his chair.
"Can't hide it for much longer." Johanna pipes up.
"You two would be the cutest you know," Annie says, and Finnick wraps his arms around her and pulls her into his lap.
"But not as cute as us two." He says, kissing her cheek.
"Though anyone can see you love her, it's not long until she finds out." Thresh says, and everyone else agrees.
Every day they tease me about it, and every day they try to convince me to admit my love to her. But I know she doesn't love me back, at least not the way I love her. I've been friend-zoned, can't they see that?
"Well, I've gotta get back to class. See you all tonight." I get up and begin to walk out of the room.
"You'll have to admit it eventually!" Johanna calls after me.
I ignore her and continue my walk back to class.

Katniss and Prim get into my 2015 red Jeep, Kat gets in the front with me and Prim gets in the back.
"Thanks again Cato." She says as I crank up the heat, it's only 10 degrees outside, 3 with the wind. So needless to say it's freezing.
"Yeah, thank you!" Prim says from the back.
I smile at the two of them and then look at Prim through the rear view mirror. "Of course, I wouldn't let my number one girl walk home in the freezing cold." I tease Prim, winking at her.
Katniss snorts and Prim blushes madly. When Katniss and I first met, aka when my life took a turn for the best, Prim developed a bit of a crush on me. I found it absolutely adorable. The crush wore off eventually when she got a boyfriend, but I still like to tease her about it.
"Cato, you had better watch out. Rory may just have to kick your ass for trying to steal his girl." Katniss warns, holding back her laughter.
I start to laugh myself.
"One time! One time he tried to fight Cato!" Prim whines from the back. "And in his defense Cato was totally flirting with me in front of him."
That only causes Katniss and I to laugh even louder.
"How could I not? There's just something about the Everdeen girls..." I say, looking at Prim but keeping Katniss in my peripheral vision.
Prim giggles and I give her another wink from the mirror. She sort of knows about my feelings to Katniss, she came to me one time and told me it is obvious. I didn't tell her too much about my feelings or why I don't ask Katniss out, I feel as if she's a tad bit too young to understand. I don't even really understand myself.
"Well, Rory has nothing on me. You keep that in mind if he ever does anything to you, you got that? I'll kill the twerp if he tries anything with you." I tell her, making her nod
"Rory wouldn't do anything like that though," she reassures me.
"Yeah, well if he does you he sure to tell me."
"And me," Katniss says. "But we've already had that talk..."
Prim nods and looks out the window, signifying the conversation is over.
I can't help it, I'm protective of her. She's like a sister to me, like family. And since I don't have any siblings of my own, I treat her just as I would treat my own kin.
"You just want to go straight to my house after we drop Prim off? No use in you going home for like one hour and then I come back and pick you up again." I ask Katniss.
"Sure," she replies, looking out the fogged up window.
We drop Prim off at her house and head to the store. It's about five now, so that means we have an hour to get food and get there. An hour with just Katniss...
"So... Where to go for candy and snacks and all that?"
"Shit!" Katniss exclaims all of the sudden, scaring me half to death.
I turn to her quickly, "What's the matter? Are you okay?"
She slams her head against the headrest and groans.
"I left my money back at my house." She mutters.
"It's not that big a deal, I'll buy all the snacks and candy. Don't worry about it." I say, relaxing and loosening my grip on the steering wheel.
"No, no let's just turn around-"
"Katniss, I'll pay. It's no big deal, I have more money than I need. You know that. Now, what store?" I ask, looking over at her and giving her a soft smile.
She sighs and thanks me, "Let's just go to Food Lion or Walmart or wherever."
We end up going to Walmart and we buy thirty dollars worth of candy and chips and sodas, I know everyone else is going to forget. I'm usually the one to buy the snacks.
I even bought the bowls, luckily Johanna is the one bringing the movies. Most will be horror, much to Katniss' disliking.
We get back into the car and decide to go straight to school to get the room set up, we are going to be the first ones there.
We arrive, no other cars are here. All the teachers already went home for break. Today was the last day of school before we welcomed Christmas break, and it seems everyone has already fled this hell hole.
I park and we get the grocery bags our snacks occupy before walking to the side door. I get out my key and unlock the door, we both go in and make our way to our secret hideout. So far we haven't found any other way in than through the janitors closet, and that closet is locked half the time. Thank god for Cloves dad being the principal...
I don't even think he knows this place exists, unless Clove told him.
Katniss opens the closet door and we walk down the short and narrow hallway until we come to the door leading into our hangout. I open the door for Katniss and walk in after her. I'll admit I steal a few glances at her butt, but I'm a teenage guy. Can you blame me? And Katniss has a nice body, she's beautiful inside and out. Actually beautiful can't even describe her level of beauty, not a single word could ever describe how breathtakingly gorgeous this girl is.
I shake my head and set my own bags down on the table and so does Katniss, we get out the bowls and empty each chip bag, candy bag, and snack bag into their own bowl. Katniss puts the sodas in the fridge and we sit down on the couch.
I get out my phone when I feel it vibrate and see texts from Thresh and Finnick.
"The guys are almost here," I inform Katniss who is lounging on the sofa/recliner.
She's checking her own phone that was a gift from my family to her for her birthday; an iPhone 5s.
She still doesn't fully know how to use it, and I find it quite adorable.
"Johanna, Annie, and Clove will be here in about five minutes." She tells me, setting her phone on the table.
I nod and text them back to tell them we are already here.
"So, is there anything going on between you and Glimmer...?" Katniss asks after a few moments of silence, shocking me and disgusting me.
I snap my head to her and shake it frantically. "Oh god no, who the hell told you that lie?" I ask in absolute disgust.
She looks down at her hands. "Marvel."
"And you believed him? The gossiping fool?" I ask in disbelief.
She shrugs, "I just wanted to hear it from you..." She trails off, her voice quiet.
"Oh..." I say, looking down at my own hands.
"Why?"
She bites her lip and her eyes dart around for a few seconds as if she's trying to figure out what to say. "I, uh, you're my best friend and I would have been hurt if you didn't tell me."
I nod once. "I tell you everything-"
"Exactly."
"And I can tell you now that I will never date Glimmer, not in a million years, not ever." I say firmly.
Katniss finally looks up at me and she looks... Relieved? She gives me a small smile. "Good."
"What about you and Gale?" I ask, looking down at her lips before gazing into her gray orbs once again.
She turns away. "Trust me, nothing is going on there. He's changed."
Gale was her best friend before me, they had bonded when both their fathers died during the same shooting. An idiot decided to rob a bank and shot both their fathers.
"We are barely even friends anymore, I'm much closer with you than I am with him." She says, looking back at me.
We are situated much like how we were earlier, our lips only inches apart.
"Good," I repeat quietly what she had said, making her smile.
"Where are your parents going to be over break?" She asks softly.
I look down, she knows this is a touchy subject for me. They are never home, they are basically rich. Which makes me rich, I guess. Katniss is really the only person I ever share my feelings about them with, she knows everything about me and I her.
"I think they are in London, or at least that's last I heard. And that was last week." I mumble.
Katniss sighs, "Did they say when they would be home?"
I shake my head and look back at her to see that she's giving me a sympathetic smile.
"I'm sorry, Cato."
I shrug, "It's whatever, that's the price they have to pay for being business owners I guess. They don't care."
I feel her small hand intertwine with my own and my heart soars.
"You know they care about you, they're your parents." She says softly yet firmly.
I look down at our hands and then back at her. "They have an odd way of showing it."
She searches my eyes for a moment and then sighs, letting the conversation die away. She lays her forehead on my shoulder for a moment before pulling her head back and resting it on the couch.
"What about your mom, how is she?" I ask quietly.
Katniss shakes her head bitterly. "Same as always, closed off to the world. She's gotten somewhat better now I guess, she can actually cook Prim a grilled cheese sandwich. But she isn't putting much money on the table."
I squeeze her hand for comfort like she had done for me.
"The landlord can only be but so kind. We have already missed four months rent, one more and I'm afraid we will be evicted." She says sadly, a heavy sigh escaping her. Leaving her looking hopeless and dejected.
"Things will get better." I reassure her, giving her hand another squeeze.
"I hope." She says more to herself than me.
Our eyes meet and I feel myself leaning in, unable to stop myself. I'm pretty sure she begins to lean in too, our eyes close and...
The secret rooms door bursts open and in walks our idiotic and loud friends.
"Catooooooo, Katnissssss!" Finnick calls.
We pull apart quickly and leave a few inches of room in between us as everyone walks into the room.
"We brought..." Finnick paused for effect then he pulls his hands out from behind his back. "Mc. Donald's!" He exclaims, throwing the giant bag on my lap.
I open it up and take everything out, handing everyone their 'meal.' Finnick sits next to me and Johanna sits in the middle of me and Katniss. Annie sits in Finnicks lap and Thresh goes on the other couch, Clove does the same.
"Alright, let's get this started. Cato, be a dear and get us all some drinks and start the movie." Clove says, giving me a sickly sweet smile.
I snort, "Get it yourself."
She narrows her eyes, yet everyone gets up to get there own crap. I get up and put a movie in, coming back and sitting closer to Katniss. Leaving no room for Johanna to sit in between us when she sits back down.
Johanna walks back to the couch and notices the fact that I moved. She gives me a smirk and goes to the other couch, sitting next to Clove and Thresh. Once everyone has their food and drinks, I start the first movie. It is called Hunger Games, and then after we are going to watch Catching Fire. I've never seen either but they are the girls favorite. Katniss has the M and M's in her lap, and my arm goes across the back of the couch around her. The movie starts and everyone gets situated. Our previous awkwardness is gone, thankfully, and Katniss lays her head on my should as always.
I take a handful of MnM's and my arm slides off the couch to rest softly on her shoulders. Smooth, I know. We always sit like this, mainly because I've been friend zoned and she thinks nothing of it.
Me on the other hand, well I think way too much of it.
My eyes flit around the room and I see Clove, Johanna, and Thresh each smirking at Katniss and I. Finnick and Annie are too wrapped up in each other to notice anyone else.
I roll my eyes at them and flip them the bird, making them chuckle.
I turn my head back to the movie and put up the recliner part of my seat. I put my legs up on it and Katniss' go on top of mine. Yeah, this couch happens to have built in recliners.
I look down at Katniss and she's grinning at me, I smile crookedly back and then direct my attention back to the movie.
After three movies, it's already twelve in the morning. But we aren't stopping, we still have six more movies to watch... Johanna puts in the next movie and it begins, I look down at Katniss next to me and see that she's sleeping. I chuckle and pull her body the smallest bit closer to my own.
"Cato and Katniss sitting in a tree, K I S S-" Finnick begins but I cut him off.
"You want to keep your balls? Then I suggest you shut the fuck up O'dair." I growl.
He turns back to the TV, not another word said from him.
Katniss moves against my side and buries her face in my shoulder to get more comfortable. My heart melts at the sighs, my arms firmly around her and she's buried into my side.

We finish the seventh movie and I look at my watch to see that it's 3 in the morning. I look around and see that everyone is asleep aside from me. I carefully remove my arm from around Katniss to get up, I don't want to buy I've been in the same position for the past seven movies and I've got to pee.
As I get up I hear Katniss yawn a small cat mewl and my heart melts even more for her. She seems to be looking for me, or at least for something to snuggle up to. She eventually settles for a couch pillow and I start to walk away. I hesitate though because she just looks so adorable and so kissable.
I have a small internal battle with myself for a few seconds. Eh, I guess my bladder can wait. I end up leaning down and delicately brush some hair out of her face, I press my lips gently to her forehead and put a lasting kiss atop it.
Her eyes slowly flutter open and I quickly jump back, acting as if I'm only stretching.
She slowly sits all the way up, stretching herself, and looks around with half lidded eyes.
"What time is it?" She asks, her voice hoarse with sleep.
That's a sound I wouldn't mind getting used to every morning, after we wake up together, snuggled into one another after a warm nights sleep.
I shake my head to rid the torturous thoughts, she wouldn't ever feel for me what I feel for her.
"Around three in the morning." I say softly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."
She smiles softly, "It's okay, I'd rather be awake and talking to you." She whispers and then looks around. The room is an absolute mess, chips and pretzels are crushed all over the floor, soda cans litter the couches and floor, and the bowls are all empty. "Do you want help cleaning up?" She ask, slowly getting up.
"Uh, that would be nice..." I say, scratching my head while I look around. "Everyone else fell asleep about an hour ago..."
Katniss nods and begins to clean, I go to the bathroom quickly before helping her.
"I'll just vacuum this later, no use in waking everyone up." I say once we finish picking up all the cans and whatnot.
Katniss nods and then plops back down on the couch. Only now she looks like she has the weight of the world on her shoulders. She has a troubled look in her gray depths and her eyebrows are knitted together as she chews on her bottom lip. It's all so suddle that no one else would be able to tell, but I can. I know her too well.
I sit down next to her and turn my head to her, my own eyebrows knitted together in concern for her. She's had a lot of stress these past few weeks with the mortgage on her house and everything else.
"Hey, is everything okay?" I ask softly.
She snaps out of whatever thoughts consumed her and looks at me, she tries to put her walls up but I've known her long enough to see right through them.
"Yeah, everything is fine." She's trying too hard to sound reassuring and failing miserably.
"Katniss, if there is one thing I've learned in the past 17 years, it's that when a girl says she's fine she means the exact opposite." I say with a chuckle, efficiently getting her to smile. It goes away as quickly as it came though.
"I just... My mom is doing all she can in her, erm, state of mind. But it's nowhere near enough. We already live in an apartment way to small, you know Prim and I share a room... And we may have to downgrade again. I'm doing all I can, but the restaurant I work for brings in but so much money. It's... It's just stressful." She says, with a deep and depressing sigh.
I frown and pull her into my arms for comfort and to reassure her. She melts into me and rests her head on my chest and wraps her arms around my waist. I wrap my own around her and hold her tight, just so that she knows I'm here for her.
"I'm sorry." I whisper.
She shakes her head against my chest. "No need to be, it's not your fault."
"That doesn't mean I shouldn't be sorry. It's not fair Katniss, you're an amazing person. You don't deserve the hand you've been dealt... You don't deserve all this stress."
She pulls back to look at me, we both smile gently.
"It's Prim I'm more worried about." She whispers.
I can't help but laugh, leaving Katniss very much confused.
"Can you stop being so damn selfless?" I ask, smiling down at her. I tower over her at 6'3, she's only 5'9.
She rolls her eyes. "I'm anything but."
Now it's my turn to roll my eyes. "Shut up."
She smiles slightly and looks down at the ground. She doesn't look up for some time and I wonder if she's fallen back asleep in my arms. Then I feel her small body slightly shake and my blood runs cold when she finally lifts her head.
She's crying.
I quickly lift my hand and wipe away her tears without thinking. As soon as I wipe them away more replace them, making my heart break over and over again. There's nothing worse than seeing the one you love breaking down and knowing there's almost nothing you can do to stop it.
I've never seen Katniss cry before, except for one time. It was her father's death anniversary, she hadn't come to school and I was worried so I drove to her apartment. When I got there the front door was unlocked, but she wouldn't answer the door. I walked in and went to her room to see her sitting in the corner with her knees tucked up. I remember running to her and immediately hugging her, only to get her salty tears all over my shirt. I stayed with her for the rest of that nightmarish day. It was hard for me, to see her crying and being able to do nothing to stop it.
I sigh and shake my head to snap back to reality. I shush her and pull her back to my chest, I keep one hand behind her head and I gently stroke her hair to calm her. After a few minutes her breathing goes back to normal and the tears on my shirt dry.
She pulls back and avoids eye contact before sniffling.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
I shake my head. "You can't take the stress of this all alone."
She doesn't reply to me. Simply hugs me tighter.
"Cato, I don't know what I would do without you. Truly I don't." She says.
"I don't either, you mean a lot to me you know. More than a lot to be honest."
"And you mean more than a lot to me too."
I don't respond for a few moments, should I tell her how I feel? Is this the right time?
Now or never, I guess.
I pull back so that I can look at her.
"When I say that though... I mean that I have feelings for you, more than a lot of feelings. I'm..." I pause and take a deep breath, I can't believe I'm doing this. "I'm in love with you Katniss. I have been since the first moment I saw you."
I was expecting her to stare at me for a few seconds and then let me down gently. Telling me that she sees me as a friend and a friend only. Or for her to laugh in my face because she thinks it's a joke, that I'm just messing with her. But what she does surprises me and joys me to no end.
She kisses me.
Holy shit. Katniss is kissing me.
I'm surprised for all of a half a second and then I'm kissing her back, pouring my feelings into the movement of my lips.
"I love you too." She whispers against my lips. "I always have, I honestly thought I was friendzoned."
I can't help but chuckle at the irony.
"I did too."
She laughs with me and I kiss her again, I kiss her and kiss her and kiss her until my lips are so swollen they hurt.
I can't help but think that this is a dream. I've dreamt about this before, every night. Only those dreams get a bit, erm, explicit.
I rest my forehead on hers while breathing heavily.
I can't believe everyone around us is still asleep.
Katniss heaves an adorable yawn and I sit back on the couch with her in my arms. I recline the chair again and she snuggles her head to fit under my chin. I take the blanket draped across the back of the couch and throw it over us. Her arms go around me and I put my own around her, willing this to be reality. I kiss her forehead and rest my lips atop her head, she quickly falls asleep. I'm soon to follow, being lulled to slumber by the soft snores coming from the angel in my arms. That night I dream of her as I always do, only this time the dreams are more realistic; the taste of her lips is implanted in my memory and the feel of them against mine as well, incorporated into each and every one of my dreams.

I hear faint voices around me and a weight on my chest with arms around my waist. I feel my own arms around a slim figure and a scent I recognize only as Katniss.
Images of last night, well really a few hours ago, flood through my mind.
"I told you it was going to happen soon!" A voice whispers loudly.
"And I didn't deny it." Another voice replies.
That sounds a lot like Finnick and Johanna...
"They are too cute!" That sounds a lot like Annie...
"Someone snag a phone and take a picture, I can't wait to use it against Cato. Put it all over Facebook 'big bad Cato gone soft'." That would be Clove...
I don't feel like fully waking up yet, mainly because I don't feel like listening to everyone, and because I want to lie here with Katniss forever. But alas I'm completely awoken from my blissful slumber. The only reason I give in to waking up is because I hear that adorable yawn and I feel Katniss move around. My arms instantly tighten around her.
"Aww look at that, Cato is protective of her." Thresh says, and I can hear his smirk as well as everyone else's.
I crack my eyes open and look around to see them all hovering over us. I avert my eyes to Katniss and see that she looks confused. She looks at me and I smile, she smiles too. Her sleep filled eyes slowly waking with the rest of her.
"I thought it was a dream," she whispers.
I chuckle and kiss her softly, "I did too, I'm glad it isn't."
I hear awes around us, some sarcastic and some real.
I look up and glare at Johanna, Clove, and Finnick. The three who were awing sarcastically. They give me innocent smiles and I roll my eyes, looking back at Katniss. We just smile at each other like the drunk fools we are, drunk in love, that is.
"I say we go buy some breakfast." Thresh says, clapping his hands and walking away.
The others all follow him but I barely notice, I seem to have gotten lost; lost in Katniss' eyes, as cheesy as it is.
"Soo, what does this mean?" She asks, toying with the collar of my shirt.
I tilt my head to the side. "What do you mean?"
"Are we together or still friends or what?" She asks shyly. "I don't date often."
I chuckle somewhat nervously, "I don't either, but... I guess we are together. Here, let me ask you formally. Katniss Everdeen, will you make me the luckiest guy in the whole school, scratch that, the entire world, and be my girlfriend?"
She smiles softly and then brushes back some of my hair, "When have I ever said no to you?"
I chuckle, what better way than to seal the deal with a kiss?

"Four, letter word.
But I don't have the guts to say it.
Smile, till it hurts.
Lets not make it complicated.
We, got a story.
But I'm about to change the ending.
You're, perfect for me.
And more than just a friend so we can just stop pretending.
Now, I gotta let you know somehow...
I'll be your shelter,
I'll be your storm.
I'll make you shiver,
I'll keep you warm.
Whatever weather,
Baby I'm yours.
Be your forever, be your fling.
Baby I will be you everything.
We used to say ,
that we would always stick together.
But, who's to say?
If we could never last forever.
Girl, got a question.
Could you see yourself with somebody else?
Cause I'm on a mission,
And I don't wanna share I want you all to myself.
Right now, I just wanna scream it out!
I'll be your shelter,
I'll be your storm.
I'll make you shiver,
I'll keep you warm.
Whatever weather,
Baby I'm yours.
Be your forever, be your fling.
Baby I will be your everything. ;)
No matter what you do,
Yeah,
I'll be there for you.
And every time you close your eyes,
I will be by your side.
Cause every time you make me sing,
Baby I will be your everything.
I'll be your shelter,
I'll be your storm.
I'll make you shiver,
I'll keep you warm.
Whatever weather,
Baby I'm yours.
Be you forever, be your fling.
Baby I will be your everything."
Done!
